Texas Trek Trilogy: San Antonio

All of Team Blankinship!
What can I say?

This may be gross to some, but Uncle Mark deserves some accolades!
He killed BOTH hogs WITH ONE SHOT! Yep, his new pirate name is Dead-Eye.
And, in case you were wondering, we had hog steaks for supper the next night and they were
YUMMY!
Randy and Mark took the kiddos out to a ranch for hog hunting and a pond where they could fish for bass.
Check out Cassidy's big ol' bass that she and Uncle Mark caught!
Oh, and also admire her pink, sparkly movie star sunglasses. I know.


Grandma Jane and little Cullen.
One of my FAVORITE pictures for obvious reasons.
So, you can tell from these photos which adults were
sent outside to play with the kids. And notice who used
their superior size and strength to commandeer the water hoses! Hmmm.
Here is Aunt Becky using Cassidy as a human shield.
Where's the love?
Oh wait! Aunt Becky indiscriminately used children as human shields.
What does that say about Aunt Becky? For that matter, notice that Randy
just kept right on spraying. And no, the Stringers have NOT adopted the European custom of Speedos...its just Seth in his Spider-Man undies!

I've been going through the pictures of our trip to Texas and I don't know HOW I'm going to be able to choose which ones to post! And since its my blog...who says I have to choose!

We had a GREAT time!


So, in the words of Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music, I'll "start at the very beginning. It's a very good place to start!" Yes, Becky, you can sing it!

We started our trip in San Antonio. The first weekend we were there we saw ALL of Randy's family. So Team Blankinship was all together and that was FUN. Adding to the fun was, of course, my sister Becky. Look up fun in the dictionary and guess whose picture you'll see...yep, its Becky. We also got to see the Stringer family(and since they didn't have swimming suits...we saw A LOT of Seth and Blake :) ) and, most importantly, the newest little Stringer.

Thank you Uncle Mark and Aunt Tamra for the great accommodations, FABULOUS food and for planning/hosting all sorts of fun and excitement!

SUCH FUN!!! We missed y'all before we even got out of the airport. I just went upstairs for the first time all week and was sad to see it so empty (but thanks so much for picking up everything and folding the bedding, by the by!). We'll have to plan another little get-together. :)
